I am a HUGE fan of all of the Shopaholic books and the other books from Sophie Kinsella. I have been trying to find other books that are similar to that or other chic lit or british chic lit. besides Sophie Kinsella's books I have read and liked: The Next Big Thing by Johanna Edwards Good in Bed Jennifer Weiner Dress Rehearsal Jennifer O'Connell I am welcome to hearing any good chic lit recommendations because I'm in a book rut! LOL Thanks in advance! :)

Marian Keys is another great author of chick lit books. I have one of her books on my bookshelf, "Angels". Also, Sophie Kinsella, also writes under the name of Madeleine Wickham. I have one of her books called Cocktails for Three. I haven't read it yet, but I love her writing too. Hope this helps. |

If you liked Good in Bed, you'll like the rest of Jennifer Weiner's books. So, try those. Have you read Bridget Jones? How about the Ya-Ya Sisterhood books? Those are all classic chick-lit books that most have read, but if you haven't, you should! Read also any book by Jane Green - Jemima J is one of my favorites. I also have several chick-lit books on my shelf if you want to take a look. Also - Sophie Kinsella has written other books (under this name) other than the Shopaholic series, so you might want to try those. However, I like the Shopaholic books better than her others because the Becky Bloomwood character is so much fun to read. Last Edited on: 6/22/07 9:22 AM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

I love chick lit and thats really all I read. Some great authors of chick lit are Marian Keyes, Robyn Sisman, Lisa Jewell. There are so many more but these three are in my top five. I also recommend "Come Together" by Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Rees. That is one of my favorite books. I have it on my bookshelf plus some more chick lit. |

I love Marian Keyes, she is great, if you like Sophie Kinsella, you will really like her:) Also, Plum Sykes' book Bergdorf Blondes was good and she does have a new one out as well. |

I really enjoyed The Little Lady Agency by Hester Browne, as well as the sequal, Little Lady, Big Apple. I also strongly recommend anything by Jennifer Weiner. I haven't been disappointed yet.

Emily Giffin, Marian Keyes, Mary Kay Andrews and Lauren Henderson have all been very good. I also enjoyed the Little Lady Agency. |

Mary Kay Andrews is one of my faves. And "Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons" is way up on my most favorite book list. Happy reading! |

Jennifer, I just finished Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger. It was good. Anything by Jennifer Weiner is good too. I am about to start the Shopaholic series! |

Lee Nichols is fabulous! Her main chaiacter in 2 of her books, Elle Medina, is laugh out loud funny. Of course I can't remember the name of the books LOL, but I believe she only have 3 total books out, so it won't be hard to find them |

If you like the "Shopaholic" books and Sophie Kinsella, try Emily Griffin's "Something Borrowed" and "Something Blue." My sister and I and our friends LOVED them. We're huge Kinsella fans also. |

Two books I enjoyed are I Do (But I Don't) and I Did (But I wouldn't Now) by Cara Lockwood. The books are about two sisters (one being the main character in each). |

I am reading Little White Lies by Gemma Townley and I'm loving it. I really like humorous books that the characters get themselves in a mess and they have to find there way out. Like all of Sophie Kinsella's books. Does anyone else have any recommendations for stories like that? |

If you loved Shopaholic, you will love Jane Green. Anna Maxted's books are great, but slightly more serious. |

I really like the "Little Lady" series. It's as good as Shopaholic IMHO. If you like slightly older chicks - the two Red Hat Club books by Haywood Smith are pretty good. The characters are in thier early 50's.
